Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate control of a holding operation mechanism for holding and releasing a plate work and a vertical operation mechanism for vertically moving a splash prevention cover for preventing splash of a cleaning fluid during cleaning, in an edge-clamp type cleaning device.SOLUTION: In a cleaning device 1, when a splash prevention cover 5 is moved up in starting cleaning of a plate work W, a clamp arm 27 clamps and holds the outer periphery of the plate work W which is temporarily placed in a temporary placement part, with a holding part 271 by energization of a spring section 28. When the splash prevention cover 5 is moved down after the end of cleaning, a pressing section 52 presses an acting part 272, such that the holding part 271 is moved to the outer peripheral side of the plate work W and releases the plate work W. Therefore, it is not necessary to individually provide and individually operate a mechanism for clamping the plate work W and the splash prevention cover 5, thereby reducing the number of operational mechanism sections.

Therefore, after polishing, it is necessary to clean the plate-shaped workpiece by spraying a cleaning liquid using a cleaning device. is there.

板状ワークを洗浄する洗浄装置においては、洗浄対象の板状ワークを保持する保持手段が必要となるが、かかる保持手段としては、板状ワークの下面を吸引保持する保持テーブルと、板状ワークの外周を保持するエッジクランプとがある。ある程度の厚みが確保されている板状ワークの両面を洗浄する場合は、板状ワークの外周部を保持するエッジクランプが使用される(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   In a cleaning apparatus for cleaning a plate-like workpiece, a holding means for holding the plate-like workpiece to be cleaned is required. As the holding means, a holding table for sucking and holding the lower surface of the plate-like workpiece, and a plate-like workpiece are included.

At the start of cleaning of the plate workpiece, lift the anti-scattering cover and clamp the outer periphery of the plate workpiece on which the clamp arm is temporarily placed on the temporary placement portion by holding it in the holding portion by the urging force of the spring portion. After the completion, when the scattering prevention cover is lowered, the pressing part pushes down the action part, so that the holding part moves to the outer peripheral side of the plate-like work and opens the plate-like work. Therefore, there is no need to separately provide a mechanism for clamping the plate-shaped workpiece and a mechanism for moving the anti-scattering cover up and down, and the number of operation mechanisms can be reduced, and an operation error can be reduced. It can be prevented from occurring.

The static electricity can be released.

飛散防止部50の先端には、飛散防止カバー5が降下した際にクランプアーム27の作用部272を押し下げる押下げ部52が形成されている。   A push-down portion 52 is formed at the tip of the scattering prevention portion 50 to push down the action portion 272 of the clamp arm 27 when the scattering prevention cover 5 is lowered.

板状ワークWの洗浄時は、図4に示すように、まず、仮置き部22の上に板状ワークWを載置することにより、クランプベース20に板状ワークWを仮置きする。   When cleaning the plate-like workpiece W, as shown in FIG. 4, first, the plate-like workpiece W is temporarily placed on the clamp base 20 by placing the plate-like workpiece W on the temporary placement portion 22.

クランプベース20に仮置きされた板状ワークWの洗浄開始時は、上下動作手段6が飛散防止カバー5を上昇させ、洗浄液が外周側に飛散するのを防止できる位置に飛散防止部50を位置させる。   When the cleaning of the plate-like workpiece W temporarily placed on the clamp base 20 is started, the vertical movement means 6 raises the anti-scattering cover 5 and the anti-scattering unit 50 is located at a position where the cleaning liquid can be prevented from scattering to the outer peripheral side. Let

飛散防止カバー5が上昇すると、図5に示すように、バネ部28の付勢力によってクランプアーム27の下部が押圧されるため、クランプアーム27が軸部260を中心として回転し、クランプアーム27の一端の保持部271が板状ワークWの外周をクランプして保持する。保持部271が板状ワークWの外周をクランプすると、板状ワークWは、保持部271の斜面に沿って若干上昇することにより仮置き部22から離間され、仮置き部22に載置された状態が解除される。このように、飛散防止カバー5が上昇することにより、クランプアーム27が連動して板状ワークWが自動的にクランプ手段2によってクランプされるため、板状ワークをクランプするための機構と飛散防止カバーを上下動させるための機構とを個別に設けて個々に動作させる必要がなくなる。また、個別の制御が不要となることで、装置の動作ミスが生じるのを防止することができる。   When the anti-scattering cover 5 is raised, the lower portion of the clamp arm 27 is pressed by the biasing force of the spring portion 28 as shown in FIG. The holding part 271 at one end clamps and holds the outer periphery of the plate-like workpiece W. When the holding portion 271 clamps the outer periphery of the plate-like workpiece W, the plate-like workpiece W is separated from the temporary placement portion 22 by being slightly raised along the slope of the holding portion 271 and is placed on the temporary placement portion 22. The state is released. As described above, when the anti-scattering cover 5 is raised, the clamp arm 27 is interlocked and the plate-like workpiece W is automatically clamped by the clamping means 2, so a mechanism for clamping the plate-like workpiece and anti-scattering are provided. There is no need to separately provide a mechanism for moving the cover up and down and operate it individually. In addition, since individual control is unnecessary, it is possible to prevent an operation error of the apparatus.

クランプアーム27の保持部271が板状ワークWの外周をクランプすると、図5に示すようにロッド273がセンサ7の直上に位置する。センサ7は、ロッド273が直上に存在することを検知すると、クランプアーム27が板状ワークWのエッジをクランプできていると判断する。一方、センサ7がロッド273を検知できない場合は、何らかの理由によりクランプアーム27が所望の回転をせず板状ワークWをクランプできていないと判断し、板状ワークWの洗浄を開始しないようにする。このように、センサ7によってクランプアーム27の状態を検出することで、板状ワークWが保持されていない状態で洗浄が開始されるのを確実に防ぐことができる。   When the holding portion 271 of the clamp arm 27 clamps the outer periphery of the plate-like workpiece W, the rod 273 is positioned immediately above the sensor 7 as shown in FIG. When the sensor 7 detects that the rod 273 exists immediately above, it determines that the clamp arm 27 can clamp the edge of the plate-like workpiece W. On the other hand, if the sensor 7 cannot detect the rod 273, it is determined that the clamp arm 27 does not rotate as desired for some reason and the plate-like workpiece W cannot be clamped, and the cleaning of the plate-like workpiece W is not started. To do. Thus, by detecting the state of the clamp arm 27 by the sensor 7, it is possible to reliably prevent the cleaning from being started in a state where the plate-like workpiece W is not held.

板状ワークWがクランプ手段2に保持されると、図4に示す回転手段3がクランプベース20を回転させるとともに、洗浄手段4を構成する第1の洗浄ノズル41から洗浄液が噴射され、板状ワークWの上面が洗浄される。また、液体導入口301から回転軸30の内部に形成された液路300に液体が導入され、その液体が第2の洗浄ノズル200から上方に噴出し、板状ワークWの下面も洗浄される。   When the plate-like workpiece W is held by the clamp means 2, the rotating means 3 shown in FIG. 4 rotates the clamp base 20, and the cleaning liquid is ejected from the first washing nozzle 41 constituting the washing means 4 to form a plate-like shape. The upper surface of the workpiece W is cleaned. Further, the liquid is introduced from the liquid introduction port 301 into the liquid path 300 formed inside the rotary shaft 30, and the liquid is ejected upward from the second washing nozzle 200, and the lower surface of the plate-like workpiece W is also washed. .

洗浄終了後は、図1に示したように、上下動作手段6が飛散防止カバー5を下降させる。そして、押下げ部52が作用部272を押し下げることによって、保持部271が板状ワークWの外周側に移動して板状ワークWのクランプ状態を開放する。このとき、板状ワークWは、保持部271の斜面に沿って若干降下し、仮置き部22の上に仮置きされた状態に戻る。   After the cleaning is completed, as shown in FIG. 1, the vertical movement means 6 lowers the scattering prevention cover 5. Then, when the push-down part 52 pushes down the action part 272, the holding part 271 moves to the outer peripheral side of the plate-like workpiece W to release the clamped state of the plate-like workpiece W. At this time, the plate-like workpiece W is slightly lowered along the slope of the holding portion 271 and returns to the state temporarily placed on the temporary placement portion 22.
